Concubine's true colors

Chapter 204 The Sacred Heart Is Unpredictable
As soon as he heard that Emperor Ming had come, Xiao Jinxuan quickly stood up, put the apple and knife in his hand aside, and then straightened up his appearance. After all, he was the emperor of the Great Zhou, and he must not lose his sense of propriety when welcoming him.

Looking at Xiao Jinxuan's solemn posture of greeting each other, Zhou Xianyu lay on the bed without moving a bit, then he curled his lips and coaxed softly:
"Xuan'er, your hand is injured now, so don't move around. The old man will come as soon as he comes, so there's no need to wait for him so grandly. Jinxuan, you haven't finished feeding me your apples yet. It's a pity to throw away half of them and waste it."

Seeing Zhou Xianyu's inconspicuous appearance, Xiao Jinxuan gave him a helpless look. Just as she was about to speak, she didn't expect the calm and majestic voice of Emperor Ming to come from outside the door first.

"Yu'er, it seems that your injury is really healed. I heard your voice when I was still far away. The emperor brought you some tonics, and I will have some stewed for you in a while to nourish your body."

As the words fell, Emperor Ming, dressed in ordinary clothes, walked in accompanied by Zhou Xianrui.

Although the other party was not wearing a dragon robe, the innate aura of an emperor still made everyone present feel a sense of oppression.

At this moment, Xiao Jinxuan was already standing by the door, bowing her knees to pay her respects, but when Emperor Ming passed by her, not only did he not look at her, nor did he open his mouth to ask her to get up, he just walked over and ignored her, and came to Zhou Xianyu in front of the bed.

Emperor Ming didn't call to get up, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't get up even if she was injured and it was inconvenient for her to move. Immediately, Zhou Xianyu felt distressed, and immediately muttered in dissatisfaction:

"Old man, it would be better if you didn't come. Who cares about your supplements? I still prefer the apples that Xuan'er peeled for me. If you don't ask her to get up, then I will help her up myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xianyu really wanted to get up. Now that his wound has not healed, not only Emperor Ming rushed to stop him, but even Xiao Jinxuan was terribly frightened.

When she was reborn, she lived one more time in this life, and she was already a dead person. In fact, there were very few things that could make Xiao Jinxuan feel afraid.

Just then, she kept the ceremony, she didn't get up without Emperor Ming's order, she didn't care about offending the emperor's prestige, she stood up immediately, and walked quickly to Zhou Xianyu.

Then she said with a strong tone, no doubt:
"Zhou Xianyu, just move around and show me. If the wound is opening, I will have Wenxin tie you to the bed so that you can't move anymore."

Just now facing Emperor Ming, Zhou Xianyu, who was still grumbling and aggrieved, only got up with his hands when he heard Xiao Jinxuan's words. When he was about to get up, his head drooped immediately, and he immediately lay down in a well-behaved manner without the slightest temper. All right.

After lying down again, he raised his head, looked at Xiao Jinxuan carefully, and said flatteringly:
"Xuan'er, don't be annoyed, I was joking with you just now, why don't I just lie down well, tie it up with a rope, I don't think it's necessary."

Thinking about Zhou Xianyu, when he was outside, he was a majestic king of war who was respected and fearless by no one, but now he is showing such a pitiful appearance.

Immediately, everyone in the room was overjoyed, even the corners of Emperor Ming's mouth couldn't help twitching.

It is said that one thing subdues one thing, if in this world, Emperor Ming is helpless, then there is no one else except Zhou Xianyu, but now Emperor Ming has also seen that the one who can subdue his son is the one in front of him. This Xiao family's concubine daughter is gone.

In fact, not long ago, after Concubine Liang's lychee family banquet, on the boat by the lake, the father and son, Emperor Ming and Zhou Xianyu, had already explained clearly the matter of the marriage in person, and since then, Emperor Ming has Keep Xiao Jinxuan in mind, and started to pay attention to investigate the other party.

And now it was the first time for him to observe Xiao Jinxuan face to face and up close. Although the other party was also present at the Yanqing Palace family banquet last time, Emperor Ming didn't pay attention to her at all.

Without any trace, after taking a few glances at Xiao Jinxuan, Emperor Ming only felt that this was the daughter of the commander-in-chief's mansion. At first glance, both his face and temperament were too ordinary. people's attention.

However, as an emperor, Emperor Ming's eyes were so sharp, so after observing a little bit carefully, he couldn't help nodding secretly, feeling that there was something different about the little girl in front of him.

First of all, after seeing him, the other party's attitude is still neither humble nor overbearing. This kind of calmness is extremely rare among his peers, and even ordinary sons of aristocratic families may not be able to do this.

Secondly, just now, Emperor Ming deliberately kept Xiao Jinxuan cold and did not ask her to get up for a long time. He just wanted to see how this little girl would respond, whether she would feel nervous or uncomfortable.

Originally looking at Xiao Jinxuan, who continued to bow his knees in front of the door in a polite manner, Emperor Ming felt that the other party advanced and retreated very well, which was considered dignified and decent.

But just when he was satisfied, because Zhou Xianyu got up suddenly, the other party stood up without hesitation, and comforted Zhou Xianyu almost reprimanded in front of him.

Although Emperor Ming didn't say anything about all this, he was really shocked in his heart, because from Xiao Jinxuan getting up, passing by him from time to time, until he approached the bed, he could clearly feel that the other party was really not at all. He didn't take his deterrent seriously.

In Emperor Ming's mind, the people who could still be so calm when facing him could really be counted on one hand.But now it is obvious that Xiao Jinxuan has to be added.

Looking at Zhou Xianyu, looking at Xiao Jinxuan's expression full of doting, a trace of helplessness flashed deep in Emperor Ming's eyes, and then he coughed lightly and said:
"After seeing Yu'er that you are all right now, the royal father is relieved. As for Miss Jinxuan of the handsome mansion, don't worry about Xianyu, and go to the study with me. There are some things that I still feel It is necessary to talk to you in person."

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Ming instructed Zhou Xianyu a few more words, then strode out of the room with his head raised, followed by Deng Chang, the chief steward of the imperial court, at this moment, made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Jinxuan, bent over He bowed his back and waited quietly to welcome her out.

Emperor Ming himself spoke, Xiao Jinxuan naturally had no reason not to go, but before turning around from the bed to leave, Zhou Xianyu grabbed her sleeves from behind.

"Xuan'er, you don't have to be afraid to see my father alone. The matter between us was originally messed up by him and almost delayed. I have already explained everything to him after the family dinner last time. , this old man just likes to pretend to be serious, if he dares to make things difficult for you, even if Xuan'er comes back, with my protection, he won't do anything to you."

Seeing Zhou Xianyu babbling and giving instructions endlessly, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but chuckled a bit. Why did she feel that, after what the other party said, it seemed that what she was going to see was not Emperor Ming, but some kind of scourge? .

But knowing that the other party is also concerned about her, Xiao Jinxuan immediately comforted her, patted Zhou Xianyu's hand that was pulling her cuff, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I said that the day you drew your sword, as long as you survive the catastrophe, from now on, no one will be able to separate us, not to mention that the Holy One has always been wise and reasonable, and I will definitely not make things difficult for me, even if he Old man, if you are really dissatisfied with my relationship with you, then I will find a way to get his approval, and for you Zhou Xianyu, I, Xiao Jinxuan, will do everything I can."

Seeing that although Xiao Jinxuan had a cold temper, her strong desire to protect each other for the sake of each other, Zhou Xianyu was not immediately fainted from happiness, and nodded happily, he was relieved and watched the other party leave the room.

Because Zhou Xianyu's study and the main room where he rested are in the same yard, so after leaving the house, Xiao Jinxuan knocked on the door and entered the study within a few steps, and Emperor Ming was sitting in front of the table right now.

Coming closer, Xiao Jinxuan bowed her knees to salute, but at this moment, Emperor Ming suddenly said:
"What a concubine of the Xiao family, what a Xiao Jinxuan, what kind of coquettish methods do you have, that the bewildered Xianyu refused to marry you, and now you even blocked a knife for you, almost losing your own life. He is my favorite My child, but you caused me to almost send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, and you can tell me how I should punish you for this crime."

When Emperor Ming said this, there was no emotion in his voice, but Xiao Jinxuan still lifted the corner of her skirt, knelt down on the ground slowly, and said apologetically:
"Yu Wang was injured, and my daughter felt self-reproachful. In this matter, I would gladly accept how the Holy Majesty wanted to punish Jinxuan. But you said just now that I confused the Yu Wang, and even if I offended the Holy Majesty, my daughter would still In other words, I have never done such a thing, and Yu Wang refused to marry me because we really love each other and want to be together for the rest of our lives, so Jin Xuan is also here, begging the Holy One to help us."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Jinxuan kowtowed to Emperor Ming, with an extremely serious and calm expression on her face.

But when Emperor Ming heard this, he didn't ask her to get up at all, instead he laughed loudly, and then said very contemptuously:
"Fulfill you and Yu'er, Xiao Jinxuan, then tell me, just because of your status, you are not even a descendant, why do you dare to wishful thinking, intending to take the position of Princess Yu, do you think you can bear it?"

Looking at Emperor Ming calmly without fear, Xiao Jinxuan just looked directly at him like this, and said confidently without dodging at all:
"Returning to the Holy Lord, I didn't feel that I couldn't bear it. If you ask me why I dare to dream, then Jinxuan can only tell you presumptuously. The reason for my daughter is her deep love for Zhou Xianyu. It's just my determination to grow old with him for nothing. If one day his safety is in exchange for my courtier's daughter's life, then I, Xiao Jinxuan, will not hesitate at all, and am willing to exchange my life for his. "

After a pause, seeing Emperor Ming just looking at her quietly, Xiao Jinxuan calmed down, a little excited, and then continued:

"As for the position of concubine, the honor of nobles, the courtiers actually don't care at all. What I admire is Zhou Xianyu. Whether he is a prince or a commoner woodcutter, what I, Xiao Jinxuan, wants to do is from the beginning to the end. It's all about becoming his wife, no matter how his status changes, I don't care at all, even if one day in the future, I want to beg along the street with him, that court lady will be happy with it and will never leave him."

Some people yearn for a group of wives and concubines all their lives.However, some people, after confirming a relationship, share weal and woe for life and depend on each other for life and death, and Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu obviously belong to this type of people.

Emperor Ming is Zhou Xianyu's father, and even the king of a country. Xiao Jinxuan's words are so fierce today because she knows that if she does not get the other party's consent, the obstacles she and Zhou Xianyu will face are not It's going to be much more serious.

Therefore, she wanted to impress Emperor Ming with her true feelings, so that the other party could accept and recognize her, instead of becoming the biggest obstacle between her and Zhou Xianyu.

As for Emperor Ming, after quietly listening to Xiao Jinxuan's words, he was silent for a long time, who seemed to be furious at first, but at the next moment, suddenly burst into laughter without warning.
